Jon Dauphine is the CEO of the Foundation for Financial Planning, a nonprofit organization that provides grants and resources to underserved families. He is a lawyer by training and has worked in the nonprofit sector for many years.

In this episode of the Framework podcast, we focus on financial stability for underserved people. Jon discusses the Foundation for Financial Planning, and how they have granted out more than $9 million to support pro bono programs at nonprofits.

They have two national programs for families facing serious cancer, and another for at-risk seniors. They also have a matching platform, Probonoplannermatch.org, to connect CFP professionals to volunteer opportunities.

He talks about the relationship between the Foundation and the Financial Planning Association (FPA), and the impact their initiatives have had on closing the gap between potential clients and paid clients.

“We try to motivate CFP professionals to become volunteers to do this great service,” Jon says. “So, we have a matching platform called Probonoplannermatch.org where any CFP can sign up and then browse opportunities that are posted by our nonprofit partners.”

  1. About Jon’s career journey and experience in the nonprofit sector.
  2. About the Foundation for Financial Planning and the impact it is having.
